Routes in Nepal for selected grade

Route branches left below the final grey tufa with a separate bolt on the left side of the tufa. The anchor is well above the grey tufa. Shares the anchor with the right variation.

Pass the final grey tufa to the right for this harder variation. The right side of the tufa has a separate bolt. The anchor is shared with the left variation and is well above the grey tufa. The lower route can also be fully climbed on the face to the right of the bolt line, avoiding several of the good pockets on the left side. 6c+ at 8a.nu.

Really nice crack crux.

Stand start on the right edge and mantle out.

Topo. 30min walk from Talekhu

Multipitch route, all bolted, 12 quickdraws. 10 minutes walk after Chame on the right on the big sandstone slab.

Abseil 45m from R3, 48m from R4.

You can add the second pitch, connected anchor with two carabiners.

Start off moving up to a left hand shelf, a jug and continue to some sharp pockets above. Smear and crimp until you make it to the top for some good jams to make the last clip ...or reach up over to find more options.

Approach: You can find this route in the caged in area on the top platform between the left trending crack and a small overhang at the base of the cliff.

Left of the Yak Cheese factory. Get ready to attract an audience of locals! Stand start the big “Buddha” (as a local stated) compressing the big bulge.

Compress the stunning arete feature. Start in a low sit start.
